i imagine it was about as sterilized as there surgical equipment back then ..lol.

I wonder if there's a way to print this. I'd like to frame it and put it on the wall. Thanks Martin!

that's very neat! thanks for sharing. I highly doubt that razor was cleaned after each shave lol

He probably used a good Lye Soap that might have killed everything back then!
